          We have the making of a Shakespeare tragic play.
          Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
          Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
          But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

          go with the flow the river knows . . .

          I do not know, therefore everything is in pencil.

              I think that the entire healthcare debacle has demonstrated that a lot of the GOP leadership (in which I include Priebus) is incompetent.

              The Democrats can win by showing competence and intelligence. However, seeing as how much of the Democratic party is in "RESIST!!!!" mode still, I have no expectations.

                You forget troll, The U.S. is a democracy, Trump is not a King. Sanctions against Russia, sanctions which Trump has no power to nullify, have been passed by Congress. The Magnitsky sanctions which Putin so badly wants lifted, will now stay in effect. Putins power to manipulate his puppets strings has been checked. Putin is so upset at this that he is now retaliating for the Obama sanctions. Gen. Flynn got Putin to hold off on his retaliation, back in December, but now that Putin sees that having a puppet in the White House isn't enough to get the magnitsky and Obama sanctions lifted he will now retaliate by throwing American personell and there families out of Russia. Helping to elect his puppet is probably hurting Putin and his Oligarch buddies a whole lot more than he ever expected. Now all we need do is to get rid of his puppet as well.

                  I'm not a Republican so I don't have a dog in this fight but I think political litmus tests are foolish. What ever happened to ideas like expanding your base and the "Big Tent" philosophy?

                  And to be clear, this isn't something unique to Republicans. Democrats who aren't pro-abortion but liberal on every other issue are often marginalized and even ostracized by other Democrats.

                  I'm always still in trouble again

                    The US Congress will make Russia suffer not Trump. Although Trump will likely do what he can to minimise the suffering. After all, he owes Putin and who knows what Kompromat Putin has on him.

                      When Europe is on Russia's side on sanctions, easy to see neocons are screwing up badly!!! It's okay, >75% they'll all get kicked out in 2018.

                        You realize congress can't actually do anything unless the President signs it, right? So ultimately anything is done only with the President's approval. So trying to claim "congress" is doing it and Trump is being kept out of the loop is idiotic.

                        Oh wait, I forgot who I am talking to. never mind, carry on.

                          It is possible for congress to do something over the president's objections. Outside of Andrew Johnson's term, however, it's been a rare occurrence.

                            Doesn't matter if the President vetos a concressional bill, if congress has a veto proof majority. For instance, the President has no choice but to sign the recently passed sanctions against Russia, because even if he didn't Congress can and will veto his veto.

                              Congress can over ride a veto (and not signing a bill is what is called a "pocket veto"). Considering by how much this particular piece of legislation passed it looks certain that they would over ride it.
